companies, however, can't just increase prices overnight. >> they have to go to the insurance commissioner, prove that these thefts have, in fact, caused increased losses and get approval for any increase in prices. >> castellano's advice to camaro owners. >> install some kind of kill switch and install a second type of gps tracker, even other products such as lojack or onstar. those are actually really good products that help us find the vehicles. >> balber says this should be a wake-up call to manufacturers as well. >> we can tell individual consumers oh, there's a flaw with your car. these are ways to get around and try and protect your car from being stolen, but what we need is action higher up at the manufacturer level to make sure that it isn't so easy to clone those fobs to begin with. >> it's not just the big cities in california that are keeping an eye out on this. the city of rohnert park recently warned the community there to be aware of this issue. >> car thefts have been an

encourage a platform's content moderation decisions. >> government can't just run rampant pressuring platforms to censure private speech. >> reporter: some appeared skeptical to the biden administration's actions. >> what do you do with the fact the platforms say no all the time to the government? >> your honor, it doesn't matter. >> reporter: attorneys for the biden administration argue the federal officials' actions amounted to persuasion, not coercion. >> government speech crosses the line into coercion only if viewed objectively it conveys a threat of adverse government action and because no threats happened here, the court should reverse. >> reporter: a decision on the case is expected in june. >> the court also heard arguments today in a free speech dispute from the national rifle association. still ahead here at 5:00, it's a healthcare first where women can now buy birth control online. and the recent worldwide outbreak that

we're following more breaking news right now. a spill of construction debris created a big mess along

southbound 280, even bigger mess for commuting drivers. our chopper just flew over the highway. this is near sandhill road off ramp in the palo alto area. you can see that truck right there. >> yeah. it looks like a trailer hauling debris on the back of the truck flipped over, the trailer part, dumping a big mess of wood chips and other debris on the road. that's really slowing people down. drivers are funneled through one lane, the height of commute hour. they'll have to wait till this gets cleaned up for things to improve. >> definitely a monday today. everything is flashier in las vegas and soon that will include how people cross the street. the city just got $1.4 million to install a.i. crosswalks. >> they will go along fremont street. the a.i. will detect both cars and pedestrian traffic to determine how much time is needed to cross the street. in her request for funding, las vegas' congresswoman said current crosswalks are on timers and aren't always long enough.

francisco, almost 70 in fremont, 75 degrees for a high today in livermore. the fog is going to be widespread as we begin the day tuesday. visibility is reduced across pretty much the entire bay area and it's going to take a little while for the fog to retreat out of the inland valleys to the coast. futurecast indicates reduced visibility even in the neighborhood of santa rosa past 10:00 in the morning until almost noon, but by the time lunchtime rolls around, most of the fog should have retreated to the coast and plenty of sunshine the rest of the day, mid- to upper 40s to around 50 degrees to begin the day on tuesday and then highs tomorrow still above average inland. let's look at the forecast highs for tuesday, up into the low 70s in san jose, even mid-70s around morgan hill, one of the warmer spots at 74 degrees, low to mid-70s inland east bay, but closer to the coast 58 in half moon bay for a high temperature, 56 degrees in

san francisco, temperatures in north bay, the effect of the fog hanging on longer in the north bay valleys instead of low to mid-70s, the upper 60s to around 70 degrees which still isn't bad for the middle of march. let's look ahead a little farther down the line with our side by side forecast models tracking the next chance of range. the two forecast models agree a good chance of rain moves in friday. the differences are in the specific teaming. the american forecast model holds that off until late day while the european forecast model brings widespread rain across the bay area beginning by midday friday. they agree there's a good chance of lingering showers throughout much of the day saturday and they agree there's a chance of showers both sunday and again on monday. where they diverge is how much additional rainfall. it is the beginning of a generally wet stretch of weather that will likely carry us through the six to ten-day outlook and through the end of the month, a good chance of wetter than normal conditions

through late march into the beginning of april. let's look at the seven-day forecast. the first day of spring tomorrow, spring officially arriving just after 8:00 in the evening and it will feel like springtime inland with low 70s through thursday and once the wet weather arrives, temperatures drop off, low 60s for the first weekend of springtime. that's saturday, sunday, and monday. let's look at temperatures around the bay which aren't going to be as warm the next couple days, but still pleasant as we head through midweek and into thursday with a gradual increase in cloud cover. it's a good chance of rain for everybody friday into saturday, but total amounts are going to be modest with this next rainmaker, generally a quarter inch in the low end to maybe just over an inch of total rain once we add it up over the course of four straight days of decent rain chances. we'll look at the seven-day rainfall forecast outlook coming up at 6:00, give you an early look what to expect heading into the weekend. >> thanks, paul. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00. we switch over to juliette. >> thank you. we're continuing to follow a vigil happening

he has embraced his relatively new role. >> he's definitely leaning into it. he's enjoying it. he called me dray, this is great. i felt like early on he was too worried about how people was judging him and now he don't care and once he stopped caring his game did what we know klay thompson is capable of doing. pivot to the nfl, quarterback josh dobbs is set to get a 49ers jersey. jauan jennings signing a one year deal to back up problem purdy. dobbs started last season with the cardinals and vikings. chase young is on the move agreeing to a one-year deal with the saints for $13 million. young had 3 1/2 sacks in 12 games including the post season after joining the 49ers at the deadline. college basketball, st.

number one seed to fall. i see mcneese as sneaking in and coach doesn't like my pick. >> i think it's a redemption year for purdue. >> you show up and everybody else is playing for second. >> when you think of college basketball, you think obviously of elizabeth cook. >> absolutely. she can go to the right. she can go to her left. >> you said at the beginning some people take a lot of preparation. some people take a little. i take zero preparation. >> okay. >> uconn i know will do really, really great. >> big dog. >> arizona showing a lot of promise, plus i have some family members that went to school there. >> so the cats beat the dog. >> the cats beat the dog. i got arizona going -- and i know that's a bit of a wildcard and not a popular choice. >> juliette was part of the mix, too. now liz is like larry bird when he showed up for the three-point contest during all-star weekend, kind of looked and sized up everybody and said which one of you are coming in second? >> that's what i'm saying,

man, what i'm saying. i got some strategy. >> i felt like coach was judging me, but he was. >> no. i think we were all in awe of you. >> he was poking holes in my stuff. >> you went at it with such conviction to that we were all you know what? ryan knows what he's doing. >> no, i don't. >> liz is the only one. >> i'm the one who goes like this, okay, that will be the one. >> don't you believe that. >> she has a system. we got to figure it out. there's an algorithm happening. >> i've been studying since august. >> thanks, vern. still ahead at 5:00, if you still have one, it may be time to dust it off, why some young people are returning to the video stores.
